More Support:
One way to experience more success with technology is to have more support in place for the staff. Below are some creative ideas to increase support for teachers.

  • Students:
    • Students at Franklin High School MUST complete some type of community service
    • National Honor Society Students must complete tutoring hours
    • Students would be trained by the technology department (the technology coordinators or technicians)
    • Students could work with our students (School hours allow them to be at our school 1:45-2:30 daily
    • Students could work with some teachers (after school hours)
    • Students could work on simple work orders such as printing errors and concerns
  • Existing Staff
    • Existing Technology Coordinators
      • Despite the stipend, additional time for support is needed
      • Compensation ~
        • less duties
        • fewer class periods (coverage by EAs)
    • Many teachers have a wealth of knowledge that they are willing to share
      • Must consider a way to compensate ~
        • less duties
        • provide a free lunch
        • fewer classes
  • Existing Technicians:
    • Station the technicians at the schools in which they work- providing a more timely response to work orders, and allowing for some brief trouble shooting
